Your Not So Ordinary Villain

The commotion caught the attention of the king and his comrades. They looked at their warriors and grimaced at the bloodbath that was currently happening down there. Arcaine and Evira wanted to help but they couldn't extricate themselves from the clutches of their enemy.

Sigman and Elvira couldn't launch a wide ranged attack because the warriors would be caught up with it. The only thing they could do was to join the battle and kill them one-by-one. The other generals joined the fray earlier because Ishmael and Ulysses needed to rest even Orpheus needed to regain a little bit of his strength.

Cygnus grinned because of what he was seeing. It was a good view, especially from where he was watching. The ground was starting to be dyed with red and no matter how fast the reinforcements would come, they would still be late.

They defended against the goblins and managed to reorganize themselves after the prior chaos. They managed to get rid of all the goblins that appeared out of nowhere just as a wave of ogres appeared behind them. These monsters used their large bodies to crush the warriors and used their heavy weapons to squash them like ants.

This time, Sigma and Elvira managed to get back on the fight and help them. They used their last bit of mana to defeat most of the ogres as they launched the magic arrows and ice crystals that they used a while ago. The wounded ogres were finished by the united efforts of the warriors.

Cygnus could already tell that they were getting exhausted so he summoned more monsters to play with them. Evira wanted to help them, so she decided to finish her fight with the black knight that she was facing. Her body was suddenly covered in mist.

Onyx watched in fascination and he did not attack to give the woman the time that she needed. He was also curious to see what would happen after the mist disappeared. It only took a few seconds before the woman reappeared behind the mist with a full armor of gold as she radiated in holy power.

The former holy knight laughed out loud because he did not expect that the woman was actually a holy knight. He did not feel any divine powers from her so it must have been hidden by the mist that transformed her. This was truly interesting.

Cygnus was also surprised to see that the woman turned out to be a holy knight. The gods were really sneaky as they managed to hide the woman from him. Now that a holy knight appeared, he trusted that Onyx would do the right thing.

Evira was indeed a holy knight. She was blessed by the god of war with prowess in fighting, strength to defeat her enemies and defense to uphold justice. This was also the reason why she easily climbed the ranks of heroes. She was a genuine holy knight and Onyx was excited to see what she could do.

These holy knights could wield the power of gods without limit and they had encountered many of their kind from the different worlds where they were. Onyx became excited at the prospect of destroying another holy knight and adding her name to his list. Both of his hands transformed into metal claws as his body was then covered in a black mist that became a black armor.

A black knight versus a holy knight. Cygnus was satisfied at what he saw. If the holy knight was blessed, the black knight was cursed with dark power that they could use to fight. This was an interesting fight once again.

Evira twirled the spear on her hand and caught it before moving forward towards her enemy. Onyx crossed both of his hands in front of him to block the spear. A loud clang echoed in the air and the ground beneath their feet sunk.

Evira took a step back and once again attacked while Onyx blocked the attack. The woman then retracted her spear and swung it towards his side. Onyx did a side flip and effectively dodged the attack that was aimed towards him. After he landed on the ground, he twisted his body to the right with his right hand extended to hit the woman who had her body angled to the left after her attack.

The holy knight's armor was hit and she almost lost her balance. She stepped to the side a couple of times before she steadied herself. She then glanced at the spot where the metal claws hit her and grimaced at what she saw.

The armor was blackened and it was sizzling because it was burning from the dark mana that hit it. Evira covered the spot with her armored hand and it disappeared in just seconds. She then looked at the man who was grinning at him and flexing his metal claws.

The woman did not hesitate to attack again. Her movements started to get faster and each of her attacks had the weight of a mountain. Whenever her spear missed and hit the ground, the bricks that were used on it would crack at the force of her attack. Onyx was sure that his armor would break if he ever got hit.

He did not stay idle either. He would sneak his own attack that would taint the holy knight and make her waver for a moment. In all honesty, he was not worried about getting hit by the woman. He had enough experience to defend himself and minimize the damage from the holy power that these holy knights have.

While he was relaxed, Evira on the other hand was getting annoyed because she couldn't land any decent hits on the man. If she ever had, he would only grin at her and make her feel like her attack did not have an effect. She badly wanted to pierce through that armor and destroy her enemy.

This time Onyx attacked first. His claws reached out to the woman. He was flying in the air and swinging his claws from every direction. Whenever the woman wanted to attack, the man would maneuver his body and avoid the spear. He did not give the woman the chance to get ahead of him.

Evira blocked the incoming attack with the center of her spear and used her force to push away the enemy. She then stabbed forward a couple of times and even rotated her spear with speed before stabbing him. This move was not anticipated by the man.

This small opening was used by the woman as he swept her spear and hit the man's legs. Onyx lost his balance and he actually fell to the ground. Evira retracted her spear and swapped it smoothly in a position where the pointed end was facing down and she stabbed with the holy power filling the weapon.

Onyx saw the spear coming down toward him as he forced himself to roll to his side and narrowly escaped the spear. The weapon was planted on the ground instead but the woman was not deterred. She then pushed the spear forward to where the man just rolled and it successfully hit him.

The black knight was pushed further away from the woman and he could feel that the spear actually penetrated his armor. He was about to get up when he felt a presence above him. The woman was in the air with the spear pulled above her head and she brought it down with so much force.

Onyx managed to block the attack at the last moment but the force was not diminished and he felt the full brunt of it. The ground below his back caved in as the force spread through his body towards the ground. He chuckled and it was followed by a cough.

The woman that was blessed by the god of war was really something. Each of her strikes was heavy and full of holy power. His armor that was made of dark mana slowly chipped away together with his metal claws that was oozing with dark mist. It started to disintegrate but before it could happen, he pushed the woman away.

The woman was caught off guard as she stumbled back and when she looked at the man again, he was not there. She looked around but she did not find her enemy and yet the feeling that someone was looking at her pricked her skin. She knew that the man was still there. Her hold on her weapon tightened as she turned around only to find that nothing was there.

The distant sound of the fighting from the warriors and the monsters rang in her ear. They managed to get away from the palace's grounds and she didn't even notice it. Arcaine was also nowhere to be found. She took several deep breaths and calmed her nerves.

Onyx grinned as he watched the woman, from where he was. He got near her and whispered in her ear. "You won't be able to destroy me."

The whisper made the woman turn around once more but her enemy wasn't there. Onyx appeared out of nowhere and scratched at the woman back with his claws. This time his claws were sharper and it dug deeper on the woman's armor.
